Cute as a Bug: Hello

This card will be entered into the My Craft Spot Challenge: Cute as A Bug, Flutter By Wednesdays Challenge, CAS(E) this Sketch!
The inspiration for this card was a card I saw on Pinterest, though now I can't find it. The papers are scrap. I cut the butterflies from the Cricut Cartridge: 3D Pinwheels, and that's my handwriting in the corner.

For the background, I found a free flowering vine digi and printed it onto my cardstock. I then colored it with acrylic paint. I didn't smooth out the brush lines. I kind of like the organic look it gave.

This butterfly has a piece of scrap rose paper glued directly behind it.
The scrap piece of rose paper for his butterfly is adhered to the base of the card.

I edged the butterfly layer with faux stitching done in white gel pen and then popped the butterfly layer up off the card base with 2 layers of foam tape.

Hope you like it.
